I'm just not very good at interior decoration so I got some much needed help from the expert.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6163/6259169672_70fedae218_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img alt="SF" height="525" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6163/6259169672_70fedae218_b.jpg" width="700" /></a></center> <br /><br /><br /><br />Remember the bared wall from all the previous posts, gone baby gone. My husband is not home so I'm actually quite nervous to see how he would react to the Audrey Hepburn's picture. ^_^<br /><br />I'm still looking and testing different places and angles to put my camera for pictures going forward. This picture might have resulted from placing the camera at the top of my bookshelf. I'm not quite happy with it but I was too quickly changing out of my dress so I'll just have to post the "best" of what I have. Lesson learned!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6043/6259169636_7ccbbd716c_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img alt="SF" height="1024" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6043/6259169636_7ccbbd716c_b.jpg" width="768" /></a></center> Please excuse the bags in the background too :) Hope your week is going well! !Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-19185267442337218212011-09-26T19:35:00.000-04:002011-09-26T20:20:40.426-04:00Wear what makes you happy - Ellen DeGeneresWith my commute being relatively short, I try to get home in time when I can to catch the Ellen DeGeneres show for some LOL time. I'm cracking myself up watching her latest invention.. the Ellen DeGeneres soup spoon. It's just what you need if you are ever sick of moving your spoon up and down when having soup, here comes your rescue, the turning spoon...Ha..Ha..

Simple, but so true. I've worn this dress quite a few times on or off this blog and I definitely feel happy every single time having it on. One thing I'm not quite satisfied with myself though, is that I always end up styling it the same exact way...happy, but boring? Ehhh. How would you wear it differently? <strike></strike><center><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6163/6186652089_a5b4e95166_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img alt="SF" height="1024" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6163/6186652089_a5b4e95166_b.jpg" width="768" /></a></center> !Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-80010330021020773012011-09-20T20:02:00.000-04:002011-09-20T20:02:29.074-04:00Indian Summer!I finally get to experience my first Indian Summer here in San Francisco. It is sunny, warm and very pretty, just like I was told to wait for when I first moved here... seven months ago. Where did time go? I was proudly telling my colleague in Boston that for the first time in a very long while, I only needed a t-shirt when I left home this morning. You can't miss all the sun I have coming in my window right now!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6157/6167867366_cf1903d129_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img alt="SF" height="1024" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6157/6167867366_cf1903d129_b.jpg" width="768" /></a></center><br /><br /><br />So I feel a little less silly taking pictures with my new vintage sunglasses in front of my couch.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6165/6167867236_520e7211cf_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img alt="SF" height="1024" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6165/6167867236_520e7211cf_b.jpg" width="768" /></a></center><br /><br />One of the things that I picked up from reading blogs is that accessories go a long way. I try to incorporate different jewelries into my daily outfits when I can and really like how they instantly give the same clothes a fresh new look.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6151/6167332399_a0442930ce_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img alt="SF" height="1024" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6151/6167332399_a0442930ce_b.jpg" width="768" /></a></center><br /><br />Hope your September is going great!<br />!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-29388839681974396562011-09-13T01:31:00.000-04:002011-09-13T01:31:06.554-04:00FNO recap.FNO was the perfect opportunity to be part of the vibrant scene of San Francisco fashion and bloggers. I had so much fun seeing so many wonderful fashion lovers in one place. Any night that requires party hopping from Macy's to Saks and then to Neiman Marcus is a OK in my book. I was too busy taking mental pictures of every single outfit that I couldn't talk to a lot of fellow party attendants. OK, not quite, I was shy. I'll work on getting over it next year. But I was really taking mental picture of everyone on the street of SF that night. So many inspirational outfits! <center><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6157/6142449309_31f160d1bc_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img alt="SF" height="1024" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6157/6142449309_31f160d1bc_b.jpg" width="768" /></a></center> The incredibly stylish, Ms. Blair of <a href=http://atlantic-pacific.blogspot.com/>Atlantic-Pacific</a> and some of the looks that she put together.

I feel like it was either my birthday or first day back to school today. New shoes and dress bring you that good feeling. I actually bought this Zara dress on the first day of the mid-year Zara sale but waited almost two months to wear it out. Thinking about returning it a couple of times but somehow didn't manage to and I'm very glad I kept it. <center><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6205/6122256138_42dd1a96cd_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img alt="SF" height="1024" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6205/6122256138_42dd1a96cd_b.jpg" width="768" /></a></center> These comfortable Nine West heels were waiting for me at the clearance rack at Nordstrom yesterday. Because they knew I was coming. What is my definition of comfy? Just a small requirement: leaving no blister or mark after a day in the office. Double points for being the perfect nude shade that I was looking for. <center><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6088/6122256072_414d28bc54_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img alt="SF" height="1024" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6088/6122256072_414d28bc54_b.jpg" width="768" /></a></center> <center><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6080/6122256102_824e77eaa3_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img alt="SF" height="1024" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6080/6122256102_824e77eaa3_b.jpg" width="768" /></a></center Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!<strike></strike>!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-35383833290726525092011-09-04T17:31:00.002-04:002011-09-04T17:31:20.165-04:00Happy Labor Day!My husband, being such a responsible lad that he is, is making a quick stop at his office. Your truly, bored and somehow had an outfit together whille waiting for him to come back, decided that I should take some pictures. I hope y'all are having a relaxed and beautiful weekend.

I just picked up this cardigan from H&M on Friday along with a couple of other items that I can' wait to show you. It was so hard to pick and choose of what I should / can buy versus what I'd like to take home with me. I finally narrowed down to THREE items from probably the TWENTY things that I laid my eyes on and the SIX things that I tried on. Shopping with a selective eye(s) is a hard thing to do. <strike></strike>

Being not very crafty, I'm very proud of myself for re-purposing this too-big bracelet into a necklace. In my rule book, now that IS my accomplishment for Labor Day.

But I won't complain because supposedly this long weekend will be gorgeous! Just like J.Crew catalog. Let's just say I pulled all my J.Crew stops with this outfit. Head to toe, sweater to boots, J.Crew all the way, except for my scarf. Now only if I can get a part-time job there to help pay the clothes bills.

It gave me an impression that today will be a normal SF summer day, sunny, cool. It turned out to be warm and my tight was too much. Problem: my dress suddenly became two inch short for my office comfort level. Did that ever happen to you?

I paid either 14.99 or 19.99 for this silk J.Crew dress a couple of years ago. I couldn't walk away. Dress. Silk. Under 20 bucks. J.Crew. You just don't see all of the above in one sentence too often. Sold. Spent another 15 bucks to get it shortened recently because over-the-knee-too-busy-print dress would make me look like a walking curtain.

<br />How about those Hugo Boss sandals that I got from Filenes's Basement in Boston for 39.99? I think a trip to a consignment store this weekend sounds like a reasonable thing to do?!?

I don't get to travel too often so going on a safari will not be at the top of my must-see list. I'm hoping that I can make it to Europe soon, as well as seeing more of Asia, next wishful stop would be Australia / New Zealand. Do you have a wish list for travelling?

<br />The back of this dress, however, reminds me of a trend that Carrie of Sex in the City seemed to master: the exposed bra style. Something like this...

<br />
<br />This look is a big Don't in my rule book so I will not try that. I might wear it with a shorter cardigan next time to show off the puffy skirt that I really love though!

The skirt was actually c/o <a href="http://www.lulus.com">Lulu*s </a> and I think it was just there waiting for me. Seriously, I wanted a pleated skirt for so long and couldn't believe no one took it before I got to the rack. <br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/6013280014_284a7a78cb_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/6013280014_284a7a78cb_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br />White lace could be tricky to wear because I often feel like it's too bridal-ish looking for everyday wear. Of course the statement is incorrect because I see bloggers are rocking this look so well. One of my favorite has to be <a href="http://iamkhatu.blogspot.com/2011/07/whitewashed.html">this outfit</a> by <a href=http://iamkhatu.blogspot.com/>Khatu</a>. <br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6002/6013280770_255d9240da_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6002/6013280770_255d9240da_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br />And to say that I didn't copy the sweater from <a href=http://mcmarmalade.blogspot.com/2011/07/yellow-jacket-without-sting.html>Kathleen</a> is a semi lie. :)<br /><br />P.S.: A big thank to my sister for sending me some lace blouses :)!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-14926046462008504702011-08-03T23:13:00.004-04:002011-08-03T23:53:39.438-04:00Wait a little waist.This dress gave me the illusion of a waist that I don't possess. I got this little number from <a href=http://www.calypsostbarth.com>Calypso St. Barth</a> a couple of years ago for a mere $29.99. I can't recall the original price but with the average tag of Calypso in the three-digit range, I think that was some deal that I got.<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6005/6000368769_1633638ef7_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6005/6000368769_1633638ef7_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6143/6000917604_334ba62c05_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6143/6000917604_334ba62c05_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center>!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-81050858510302166902011-08-02T10:10:00.000-04:002011-08-02T13:09:35.392-04:00For the love of lace...Last time I checked, it was still July. I forgot to breathe and now it's August 1. <br /><br />I drafted something last week and meant to come back and finished the post last week, aka July. I was talking about my love for lace...If there is one material / look that I could choose to wear forever (I know, a little stretching the fact here), I would go with lace. What else could be so delicate, elegant yet so fun and easy to wear at the same time? One can really dress lace up and down to fit her liking. I recently added a couple of lace pieces to my closet and slowly introduce them to the world without overdosing my colleagues at work. Daily lace could be a bit much, don't you think?<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6002/6000917770_23a7cbfb76_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6002/6000917770_23a7cbfb76_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br />I actually got this FCUK dress for a wedding in the fall but couldn't bring myself to hold on to it for that long so I wore it the very next day I got it in the mail. Kate Middleton recycled all her dresses for events, I think I can do the same thing.<br /><br />I got my Morse code necklace from <a href="http://www.coattonline.com/jewelry.html">COATT</a> a while back and can't seem to take it off<br /><br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6003/6000917874_7270253b5c_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6003/6000917874_7270253b5c_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /> <br />Hope you are having a great start for August!!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-11839435674804791302011-07-21T21:07:00.004-04:002011-07-21T21:42:09.613-04:00Because we all love summer...When I first moved to San Francisco, I wasn't aware that summer days would come as often as my paychecks in this city. Obviously, my paycheck did not come every day this week but we are blessed with very pleasant summer-like weather while the rest of the country is boiling.<br /><br />It has gone from this last week...<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6025/5952675256_f2e4ce58f9_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6025/5952675256_f2e4ce58f9_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br />...to beautiful blue sky for the past two days<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6123/5962299375_bdc8e0becc_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6123/5962299375_bdc8e0becc_b.jpg" width="768" height="526" /></a></center><br /><br />Notice the Target truck? That's right weather pal, you are right on target, well, minus the huge cloud part. Since my summer includes bright sundresses as well as my reliable bottle of Advil, I sure put them out for good use in the past couple of days.<br /><br />Coral is definitely one of my most favorite colors. That goes back to my belief that I don't have the most favorite color, I just happen to like them all.<br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6141/5962854914_0a6a935d7a_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6141/5962854914_0a6a935d7a_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br />When I bought this below dress from H&M 5 years ago, I never thought I still love it as much years later. What can I say? Love(s) at first sight(s)... It does happen to me on multiple of occasions. Again, nothing is wrong with that right? <br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6008/5962855062_30026393eb_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6008/5962855062_30026393eb_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br />I walked about 2 miles in these Jeffrey Campbell sandal today. That's rare because I normally don't walk that much, let alone in heels but these are super comfortable and I love to wear them with all my dress. And the bag, I went through my friend's rejected clothing pile last weekend and rescue it because I'm a hoarder at heart.<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/5962854870_232df3f42d_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/5962854870_232df3f42d_b.jpg" width="768" height="526" /></a></center><br /><br />Hope your week is coming along and have something brilliant planned for the weekend!!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-78350958417090732132011-07-18T20:05:00.004-04:002011-07-18T20:35:29.474-04:00Three for the price of one.BOGO is good.

Tuck. Red RaybanI'm totally watching the live coverage of Williams and Catherine's Arrival in America. Now that they have arrived at the Beverly Hills Hilton, I can get back to blogging.<br /><br />This is what I do when I'm out of my comfort zone. I don't tuck my shirt in, I have this weird body conscious thing about tucking that I won't bore you with the details.<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6027/5917103332_c6a09c1b6a_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6027/5917103332_c6a09c1b6a_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br />I also don't wear wedges that often. And I don't know why I ended up with a pair of leopard print wedges. I'm rocking both looks now, wedges and tucking.

I could go through all my pictures and see myself doing one exact pose throughout. Lately, I've been reading all things Duchess of Cambride, Catherine Middleton (who's not following her steps?), and I've decided I want to mimick her royal pose. The Duchess has the perfect posture, even when she's walking!<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6003/5914214920_7f914e5e35_z.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6003/5914214920_7f914e5e35_z.jpg" width="435" height="580" /></a></center><br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.people.com/people/0,,,00.html">People</a></center><br /><br />Well, while Ms. Catherine looks so royally elegant, I think I look like I'm trying to cover a bump...<br /><br />Take one...<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6014/5914198932_7488d4c6d5_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6014/5914198932_7488d4c6d5_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br />Take two...<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5156/5913638335_152a78f454_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5156/5913638335_152a78f454_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br />Maybe I should reverse back to my awkward pose...<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6042/5913638091_0011996338_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6042/5913638091_0011996338_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center>!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-10963960251255410382011-06-29T20:15:00.004-04:002011-07-01T20:16:54.280-04:00Swap......Is a new sale! Like I mentioned in my previous post, I had a wonderful time at the <a href="http://swaplulus.eventbrite.com/">Swap Lulu SF</a>. This dress was the first thing that I laid my eyes on. It was tricky and somewhat intimidating to walk into a room with tons of stuff and some fine ladies. I saw pleat and mini polka dots. Hello dress, you had me at Hello!<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5280/5886307248_bbd30ccffc_b.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5280/5886307248_bbd30ccffc_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" /></a></center><br /><br />Until I picked the dress up and saw this...<br /><br /><center><a title="outfit, on Flickr" href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5077/5886307130_2fd665b8d6_z.jpg"><img alt="SF" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5077/5886307130_2fd665b8d6_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" /></a></center><br /><br />OK...not quite, just two lovely hearts placing right where I, let just say, would like to bring no attention to. I almost put it back but decided to take a second look and realized that removing the hearts seems easy enough. After five minutes of removing threads, I got myself a nice addition to my closet. Until the next swap!<br /><br />EDIT: found the price of <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/Womens/Dresses/-Whisper-Sweet-Nothings-Dress">my DRESS </a> .

I went to a clothing swap event. Beause I thought it might be a good way to meet people when you first moved to a new city. It was a good way and I'm glad that I went. The items that I got were pretty sweet but meeting super cute and nice ladies is much sweeter. Like icing on the cake. How do you meet people when you move? Do share because I'm clueless. <br /><br />I also stopped blogger(s) to tell them how much I loved their blogs because it' so normal to follow a pretty lady around the room or a Zara store and started talking to them. No?<br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3129/5868094424_46e67ccdf5_z.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3129/5868094424_46e67ccdf5_z.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br />I think it's best if I kept the price that I paid for my clothes among you guys and I. My aunt doesn't need to know it. Because really, who would want to know that I paid 1/10 of what she spent on the same skirt? Would you mind?<br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5308/5867538581_8a0b699868_z.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5308/5867538581_8a0b699868_z.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br />I plan one outfit quickly before I go to bed everyday.

And you can always count on chambray shirt if you can't find a jacket to wear with this old dress.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3099/5861962248_bc5b2ac277_z.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3099/5861962248_bc5b2ac277_z.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5120/5861962058_c245a6a9fa_z.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5120/5861962058_c245a6a9fa_z.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br />Trying on a new scarf that I'm still debating if I should keep. Now that I see it in picture, I think it's a keeper!<br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3198/5861962304_bdec364213_z.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3198/5861962304_bdec364213_z.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center>!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-6063296055371944522011-06-20T19:51:00.005-04:002011-06-20T20:10:35.272-04:00Happy Monday!And I thought this day never came. It was warm in San Francisco. By warm, I meant I was sweating disgustingly while walking home and carrying my jacket that I thought I could never leave my house with. It's that warm and I love it!<br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2650/5854974268_de9112e968_z.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2650/5854974268_de9112e968_z.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br />I obviously did not know summer has paid a visit the Bay Area. Thick fabric and lining is definitely not needed, so besides the bright yellow shade, this dress is so wrong for today. Also I did not wear those sandals to work but it's summer and I think they looked much better than what I was actually wearing, I swapped these in for picture purpose. <br /><br />Happy Monday to you all!<br /><br />P.S.: I carried those big pillows home and got some stares along the way. But they are so worth it!!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-36699295859218261692011-06-16T20:05:00.002-04:002011-06-16T20:26:22.203-04:00Old favorite...This Anthropologie dress is definitely one of my most favorite dresses. I got it about three years ago yet, I'm still very excited to wear it now. <br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3513/5841026520_d76300acf9_z.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3513/5841026520_d76300acf9_z.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br />Yes, there's a bag in my daily outfit today. The bag actually makes me feel extra professional. It's my only structured bag. I wasn't fond of it before and tried to sell it on eBay. As you can see, I couldn't sell it and it turns out to be a good thing because I 'm really liking this look. Thank you all the low ball offers!<br /><br />Check out all the studs! <br /><center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/5840477459_7fc580e532_z.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/5840477459_7fc580e532_z.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br />After a couple days of really warm weather, we got the chilly weather back partially. By partially, I meant no need for stocking but a jacket is required. <br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2454/5840477295_4bcb0573dc_z.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2454/5840477295_4bcb0573dc_z.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br />I didn't think there was such a clothing item that goes with EVERYTHING. However, this J.Crew jacket goes with so many things that I now doubt this belief. Maybe there's such a thing, I just don't own it yet.!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828985671828090380.post-25183010274214288312011-06-14T19:40:00.003-04:002011-06-14T19:57:31.506-04:00Blush!I love this H&M dress. But that didn't stop the fact that I almost ruined it in the washer. The moral of the story is: if something is pleated, do not attempt to wash it. A 10 year-old kid could tell you that, I know. <br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3097/5833968267_5be3c1ed0a_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3097/5833968267_5be3c1ed0a_b.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br />Speaking of loving this dress, I bought two. Except that the grey version is a smaller size and now I'm having trouble wearing it and breathing at the same time. Maybe a talented tailor could put a plastic band in the waist...Maybe...<br /><br />Like a lady, I sit on my couch which my plan to dress it up over the weekend has yet to begin. There's always next weekend.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5313/5834522498_ff37f40be3_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5313/5834522498_ff37f40be3_b.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br />However, I managed to buy some H&M bracelets to accessorize my wrist.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3315/5834522374_2a42f2522f_b.jpg" title="outfit, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3315/5834522374_2a42f2522f_b.jpg" width="400" height="533" alt="SF" /></a></center><br /><br />Oh wait, did I say H&M again? I guess so. I bought four bracelets for $3.95 each to create a similar look that I've been loving but can't fork out triple digit dollar amount to buy.<br /><br />Hope you are having a great week!!Tb0n3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02690794624324153550noreply@blogger.com0
